It’s easy to sit back and judge a kid as a dope/crook/felon but things aren’t always that simple.

Is Ebo guilty of making 2 bad decisions? Yes.

He stupidly participated in a credit card scam that other people approached him with. He wasn’t the kingpin behind the crime, he was a kid who thought he could get away with what a bunch of other guys were doing to get some free stuff.

Then he got into a fight at a college party.

Both are dumb mistakes, both deserve punishment but imo both are easily understandable mistakes made by a kid dealing with figuring out life.

A lot of these inner city kids simply don’t have the money to compete with the student body at these schools. I’ve noticed Notre Dame is an extreme example where the old money culture is a shock to the system for a lot of the scholarship athletes.

I know him personally and Ebo is a good person. He lived his entire life staying away from bad elements in his ‘hood. In college he made mistakes. I made A LOT of mistakes when i was in college but was lucky enough not to get caught. So maybe just go easy on the extreme  judgement.

Regardless he is a steal for KC as an UFA.
